Alright dudes...longtime reader, first time poster. No girlfriend pics unfortunately because I don't have one. Question for you all regarding a shaper: had said shaper make me two boards in the past. Talked with him on 7/11 and asked for a new board. Followed up on 7/27 and he claimed he was going to get it cut the following week. Haven't heard anything since. Any advice? Should I contact him again or go elsewhere?
Welcome to the world of custom boards from some local shapers. Will take 10 phone calls and several drive bys to get. Excuses include: "glass guy wnet to hawaii", "cant get ahold of a blank", "glass shortage from my guy in Cali so gotta find a new source". I could go on. Most of these guys simply dont have the resources to place orders for large amount of supplies. They have to pick and choose which suppliers to pay. Here's the good news. They are usually worth the wait. Think of it as a really long christmas eve.
I said it once I’ll say it again. Pictures of mother, or, of-age sisters are accepted on this here forumme as well. Also, drop a 30 rack off. It works!
I call total bullshit on this… Where are the vultures, and the naysayers and the kook callers!?!?!? No one gets off that easy here… No one . You need to put some skin in this game spiky or you’re going to get the cold shoulder from the OG. TRust me. And there are stickers printed just for victims like you “is my board ready yet?”
You also need to publicly acknowledge Belmar as the premier east coast surf spot (aka "home of the 23 footers")
Uh oohhhhhh, was this maybe Mikeshiney incognito??? All silent on the western front. Maybe it was someone’s cologne or Mr. Belmars abscence from the foray? Did heaps get to him on instacram? Was he not entertained? Sissurf butt hurt him?
You got off easy as well dude. If Carter, Yankee, and Blasters (RIP) were still on here you would have gotten shredded.
Your hurry cane was the top weather story on the local philly news. Cicely Tynan reporting. Only Wayne's God knows what I would do to her. Did you bail to your buddy's place yet?
You had the guy build you two boards... and now you're back for a third. You tell us, homie... BTW... how much did you put down as a deposit? Sometimes the amount put down as a deposit is inversely proportional to the time it takes to get your stick.
Put money down the first time and not the second. Got the second board in about 4-5 weeks time. I could just text him and stop being a bee-yatch but don't wanna be a pest.
Even the best shapers get backlogged and then an impromptu surf trip comes up and they get more behind. I'd text him
